Indian politicians seem to forget that
there is a difference between politics and
governance; enemy and political rivalry; those
who serve for political power and those who
serve the nation in the bureaucracy, services,
security, investigative agencies, and police.
One cannot ask for a sea change in attitude of
politicians overnight but can we at least norm
as a nation in how we behave and work with each
other? Asks Aravind
Sitaraman

What
we are witnessing is a power-struggle within
the centrist-right polity. What the
center-rightist are doing is to move away
divisive politics and religion-based narrow
constituencies; just like the Republican Party
in the United States did with Ronald
Reagan. They have figured out that
ultimately people need food, clothes, shelter,
jobs, and development within the ambit of
religion. Says Aravind
Sitaraman

Mansur
Ali Khan "Tiger" Pataudi! This
Nawab of the erstwhile Princely State of
Pataudi was a revered cricket captain and
household name. He was well-known for all
the right reasons; his winning attitude,
gentlemanly behavior, old-age charm and also
because he was the youngest Indian Cricket
captain to-date. Today, he is again in
the news for all the wrong news.

Ancient Indian
dynasties documented their administration,
significant developments, grants, and milestones
as inscriptions in temples. The Archaeological
Survey of India (ASI) has documented these
inscriptions from 1886.
